When using LaTeX I want to redefine paragraph indetation and space
between paragraphs with commands:

\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\setlength{\parskip}{8pt plus 3pt minus 2pt}

This however (or more precisely the \parskip-command) causes the
verbatim environment by Rainer Sch\"opf to leave smaller space before
the environment than after it. So LaTeX code:

        some text
        \begin{verbatim}
        verbatim text
        \end{verbatim}
        some more text

produces an output like

        some text

        verbatim text


        some more text

which is a little annoying to read. I haven't found any obvious reason
for this behaviour. Any help is greatly appreciated.
